Lan Ling Wang
[Prince of Lan Ling]
[Episode 17]
What do you want?
You're the king's guard who peeped on Zhen Er bathing!
Don't come near me!
- Xue Wu... Xue Wu! - Go away!
- Xue Wu! - Let go!
Be quiet and come home with me.
Why would I go home with you?
I mean back to Qi state.
Qi state.
Don't you know who I am?
That's impossible.
This can't be possible!
Miss me?
Why did you peep on Zhen Er bathing?
I was worried about you.
How long have you been hiding here?
I've always been following you.
Don't you know how dangerous it is for you to be here?
How could you...
That's not important.
What's important is we should go home now.
I can't.
I promised Yuwen Yung that I'll stay a few more days
and observe Zhen Er's condition.
I can't leave so soon.
What...
What do you mean you'll stay here and observe her condition?
Couldn't you tell?
He must have fallen in love with you so he's making up excuses to make you stay.
You're thinking too much.
No, I'm not!
Just look at his eyes!
Whenever he looks at you
he'd be like a thirsty animal in a desert
which suddenly sees water.
So thirsty... so horny!
Why would an animal get horny if it sees water?
That's not the point.
Obviously he likes you.
Everyone can tell except for you!
Are you being jealous?
I don't care, you're mine.
Mine!
No wonder you pretended to be one of the king's guards.
Since you're all covered up
no one can tell who you are.
This way, you can spy on your wife
and see if she's faithful to you.
Am I right?
You certainly lack a sense of security.
So you finally realize how beautiful your wife is, right?
Very worried, right?
You're so cute!
Let's not talk about this now.
I've already asked Fifth Brother to wait for us at the border.
Knowing that you've always been by my side
makes me so happy.
You're right.
I'm yours.
So please don't worry, okay?
I'm only staying a few more days
to make sure Zhen Er's condition stabilizes.
Once she's okay, we'll leave straight away.
One more day.
Let's stay one more day and then we'll leave.
One more day and then we can go home.
I beg you!
Please!
This is no different from threatening me.
You know I can never say no to you.
Thank you.
But let me make myself clear.
You must take care when I'm not around.
I can't be with you all the time.
You must take care of yourself, okay?
- Okay. - Also.
Something must be wrong.
All the guards are aware that not only has Yuwen Shen Ju rearranged the guards
but he's also put additional guards to keep a close eye on Yuwen Hu.
No matter what happens you must leave with me tomorrow.
I have to go back to my duty now.
Remember to protect yourself.
I know!
Is the battle between the two wolves as predicted by Grandma
about to happen?
Brother, ever since Father passed away
you've always fulfilled the duty of a father.
You taught me horse riding
hunting
and taught me to write.
I remember every day of our lives spent together.
Unfortunately
the reason why you lost your life
was to protect me.
Brother... Brother!
It's me! Here I am!
Yung, I'm not going to make it.
Yuwen Hu has asked you to poison me
and kill me, right?
Before you came today
Yuwen Hu must have already got it all planned out for you, right?
He did come to see me today.
But he'd be dreaming.
I'll never do it!
Yung.
You must do it!
If you can do that
then it'd show how loyal you are to him.
He'd then let you take over the throne.
I know you're too kindhearted
to be able to do it.
So before you got here...
- I've already taken the poison. - No... no!
I don't want you to sacrifice!
Get the doctor... Imperial Doctor!
- Get the imperial doctor! - Yung... Yung!
Yung.
After I die
Yuwen Hu will definitely conduct an autopsy.
If he knows I was actually poisoned
then you'll be able to gain his trust
and become the king.
This way
you'll be able to protect your life.
Take good care of Zhen Er for me.
Okay.
I promise you... I promise you.
Brother!
Since Yuwen Hu's already decided to get rid of me
then I shouldn't wait any longer.
I, Yuwen Shen Ju, greet Your Majesty.
- Has Yu Tu gone back? - Yes.
She's already taken back your letter
to get everyone ready to overturn Yuwen Hu.
Excellent!
If he gets rebelled against by his close followers
then we'll surely catch Yuwen Hu off guard.
We must not delay.
At the morning meeting tomorrow
I must have Yuwen Hu captured!
Yes!
It's already very late.
Where did you go?
I got a little bored so I took a walk outside
and thought about how I can help you get rid of Yuwen Yung.
- Yu Tu. - Yes.
I'm a very vulnerable person.
I hope you won't betray me like other people do
and hurt my feelings.
But of course
as for people who betray me
I'd be very gentle when cutting off their tongues.
I'd be very gentle, and take my time
just like cutting a piece of timber
while I cut off their tongues.
But I suddenly thought of a new idea.
If anyone dares betray me
then I'd hammer this steel needle
into their heads.
I'd hammer it in nice and slow
until the tip of this steel needle
pierces through their throats.
Yu Tu.
How do you think that would feel?
Yu Tu.
I'll give you one more chance.
Think again.
Where did you really go just then?
You don't mean to doubt me, right, Prime Minister?
I'm not doubting you.
I'm sure about it.
Come in.
Have Yu Tu captured.
I've never trusted you from the start.
I purposely let you eavesdrop on us talking about
using Yuwen Yung's imperial chef to poison him
so that you'd tell him to replace the imperial chef.
Get it, silly girl?
If the king had not replaced his imperial chef
then how would Prime Minister be able to arrange his spy to get near the king?
So the new imperial chef's the one who's going to poison the king?
You used me!
I should thank you for your help.
- Li An. - Yes, Prime Minster.
Grant her this steel needle.
Yes, Prime Minister.
Yu Tu.
You've helped me a lot.
Yuwen Yung's going to die very soon.
Yuwen Yung.
I can't wait until the poison takes effect on you
at tomorrow's morning meeting.
Prime Minister... Prime Minister!
Prime Minister, guess what I've found on Yu Tu?
A letter written by the king.
These traitors!
They're going to help the king overturn you
at tomorrow's morning meeting!
But you've always been so good to them.
Prime Minister, what should we do with them?
I'll think of a way.
I must kill them in front of the person behind all this.
Your Majesty, your soup is ready.
Please have your breakfast.
Your Majesty.
Yuwen Hu and all officials are waiting outside the palace.
This day
has finally come.
Shen Ju, let them in for the meeting!
Yes!
The king has ordered all officials to come in for the meeting!
Go, something's going to happen soon, hurry!
Go, hurry up!
Lock them up, hurry!
Hurry up and go!
Prime Minister.
Where are the rest of the officials?
Your Majesty.
I've already stopped them at the gate.
I don't think they liked the gift that I gave you.
Prime Minister.
This is an official meeting.
Who are you to decide who can come to the meeting?
How dare you be so arrogant!
Here, bring her in.
How dare you!
How can you bring a dead body into the palace?
Here's the woman that the king has given to me.
Yu Tu.
I guess you should know
why she died
and for whom, right?
Yuwen Hu!
Are you trying to overturn the king?
That's right.
That's exactly what I'm going to do!
Prime Minister...
I thought he was on our side!
Prime Minister!
But... but he was one of us!
He deserved it for betraying Prime Minister!
Your Majesty.
Yu Tu was one of your spies, right?
I'm so grateful for that.
If you had not asked her to deliver this letter
then I wouldn't have known there were so many traitors around me.
Your Majesty.
I guess your plan to capture me at today's morning meeting has failed, right?
Be careful, Your Majesty.
You better control your temper
or the poison will take effect very quickly.
Your Majesty... Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
If my guess is right
there was a soup with your breakfast this morning, right?
Yuwen Hu!
How dare you poison the king!
If you had not listened to Yu Tu and replaced his imperial chef
then how was it possible for me to send in my spy?
Your Majesty, there's no antidote for this poison.
It's time for you to die.
Yuwen Hu, what do you want?
Very simple.
For all these years
I didn't take away your throne
because I didn't want to be labeled as a traitor.
Now
you must write out a will before you die
to pass your throne on to me
so that I can officially become the king.
The poison within your body can let you live for another two hours.
If I receive your will within two hours
then I may spare some lives.
But if I don't
then don't blame me for killing your entire family.
- Come here. - Yes!
Surround the inner palace.
Nobody is to get in or out of the inner palace.
Bring the king...
or should I say the late king?
Bring the late king into his bedroom to write out his will.
Yes!
Your Majesty... Your Majesty!
Quickly help the king back to his bedroom!
- Your Majesty! - Hurry!
May our king live on forever!
Good girl, Zhen Er.
It doesn't hurt anymore, right?
- No. - You'll soon be okay.
Quickly get the imperial doctor!
Get the imperial doctor!
What happened to the king?
Divine Sorceress, what's going on outside?
Your Majesty!
I'm not quite sure either.
Your Majesty!
How about this?
Let me go and have a look.
You stay here and don't go anywhere, okay?
Your Highness, what's happening?
Yuwen Hu overturned and poisoned the king.
His life's at risk now, let's go!
Prime Minister has ordered everyone to stay in the inner palace.
That includes Divine Sorceress and all consorts.
I'm the queen.
How dare you stop me from seeing the king!
I must obey Prime Minister's order or I'll be killed.
I'm willing to use my life to apologize for offending Your Highness later.
If I had knew things would change so quickly
I wouldn't have let her stay another day.
Your Majesty... Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, I'll bring Imperial Doctor and Divine Sorceress here right away!
Shen Ju... Shen Ju!
It's no use bringing anyone here now.
I don't have much time left.
I know I won't make it.
No matter who comes here now
before they'd even diagnose the poison
I'd be dead already.
- Your Majesty... - Write my will for me!
- Your Majesty! - Shen Ju!
- Are you disobeying me? - Yes, Your Majesty.
I've got no other options.
If Yuwen Hu sends in his troops
then there would be a massacre in the inner palace.
- Write the will! - Yes.
So he's really going to write a will to pass on the throne?
Looks like I'll soon be sitting on this throne everyday from now on.
Yes, Prime Minister...
No, I mean, Your Majesty's absolutely correct.
From what it looked like
Yuwen Yung really was going to write the will to pass on the throne.
But since he's the king...
I mean, since he's the late king
nobody dares to go and get it from him.
I'll go get it myself.
Please wait, Your Majesty.
I'm afraid it might be a trick.
Obviously Yuwen Yung had fallen for my plot
and replaced his imperial chef.
I was the one who chose the poison
so there's no way that he'd survive.
What's there to fear about a dying person?
Let's go and get the will!.
Zhen Er?
Oh no, Zhen Er's ran off!
Xue Wu!
It's me.
I already expected this to happen.
We must get out of here now.
- I can't! - Why? You promised me.
A massacre's going to happen any minute. We'd be in danger if we don't go.
Zhen Er's gone missing under my care!
Since everything's in a mess, I can't just leave her here.
If anything happens to Zhen Er then how would I forgive myself?
All right, come with me.
They've surrounded the palace so you can't go anywhere without me.
Let's go!
I can almost see myself sitting on the throne.
You're certainly quite strong for a dying person.
This must be against your will, right?
But... he...
You didn't get poisoned?
Yuwen Shen Ju!
Have every one of them captured!
- Catch every traitor in this room! - Yes!
Don't move!
You sly bastard.
It was all just a show.
I already knew about you using Yu Tu to trick me into replacing my imperial chef
so that you can get your spy to add poison to my food.
I already doubted it when Yu Tu came to tell me your plot.
I heard it with my own ears today.
Your imperial chef
is actually one of Yuwen Hu's spies.
It's true that the new chef was sent by you, Prime Minister.
But you'd never expect that I've already replaced him in the morning.
Yuwen Hu.
You sly bastard!
How could Yu Tu possibly find out about a plot
as important as poisoning the king so easily?
Yuwen Yung.
Did you think you can defeat me so easily?
Let me tell you.
Once something happens to me
then my men would rush into your palace at once!
How can you be sure that those men
aren't my spies as well?
Those who'd betray me have already been killed.
Don't forget.
The list of people whom you've killed was given by me.
All the names on this list are fake.
They're all the people who're on Yuwen Hu's side.
Once Yuwen Hu gets hold of this letter
since he's so doubtful and brutal
he'll definitely kill everyone on the list.
After he kills all his men
then there would only be my people left.
Those people were very loyal to you.
Well done!
You got rid of all those traitors for me.
I didn't have to do it myself.
A fine plot indeed.
But I must tell you the truth.
You'll most probably be killed after you get back.
Your Majesty.
Just let me go back to Yuwen Hu.
This way, he'll believe that the list is true
and that Your Majesty has fallen for his trap.
I think it's worth the risk.
I guess you wouldn't expect
Yu Tu would risk her own life to make you fall for our plot.
So do you still think
those men that are left would listen to you
and rush into the palace?
You're certainly a very careful person.
I had to take one step at a time to trick you
and kill you.
I can't believe
that the obedient puppy who poisoned his own brother
in order to gain my trust back then
actually became such a sly wolf!
You're wrong!
I never got scared after you threw me into the well.
I only cried because I wasn't able to fight back.
I only apologized to you because I was learning to tolerate you.
I didn't poisoned my brother
because he took the poison himself in order to protect me!
Enough said!
I'm too experienced on the battlefields to be afraid of death.
Kill me!
I'm going to use your blood
as an offering to my two brothers
Yu Tu, Yuchi Jiong
and everyone who had sacrificed for you.
- Pony! - Zhen Er!
- Don't anyone move! - Pony!
Or I'll kill her!
Move!
Pony!
Let Prime Minister go!
Xue Wu, what are you doing?
It's none of your business!
Let Zhen Er go!
Yuwen Yung, don't you bargain with me.
If you don't want Zhen Er dead
then you better let Prime Minister go.
Otherwise I'll kill her for sure!
I must go and delay him.
Xue Wu!
Let Zhen Er go!
Xue Wu!
Who are you?
Divine Sorceress!
Divine Sorceress?
That's right.
You've heard about me, right?
I'm a descendant of Wu Xian, a divine sorceress.
It's long been our tribe's duty to fight the evil.
Especially someone as evil as you!
Yang Xue Wu, I forbid you to get any closer!
I'm not scared of the evil!
I'll never let the evil win!
In my hand is my tribe's poisonous sand.
If I sprinkle it on you
then you'll bleed to death immediately!
Don't believe her, watch behind you!
Save Zhen Er!
Zhen Er... Zhen Er!
Hurry!
Take Xue Wu and Zhen Er back into the palace!
Make sure they're safe!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Yuwen Yung!
I was the one who established Zhou state.
Your father, Yuwen Tai, once gave an order
to exempt me from being killed by any king.
Would you dare?
From now on
Zhou state shall belong to me.
The disloyal traitor has died.
I am the one and only king!
In the year 572 CE
after tolerated Yuwen Hu for 12 years
King Yuwen Yung finally came up with a plot to get rid of him.
Xue Wu!
How's Zhen Er?
She's finally calmed down.
The queen and a few maids are with her right now.
Good, then let's go!
Fifth Brother's waiting for us.
I, Yuwen Shen Ju, greet Your Majesty.
- You may rise. - Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
After the news of you killing Yuwen Hu was released
everything is now settled.
We've also found the antidote for the worm poison that he's used.
Zhen Er is now safe
and is being looked after by the queen.
What about Divine Sorceress?
We can't find her anywhere in the palace.
But someone said he saw her leave from the back door with a king's guard.
- Go after her. - Yes.
We've finally left Zhou state.
- How are you coping? - I'm fine.
Fifth Brother should be inside.
Let's go in.
How could you leave without saying goodbye?
- Fifth Brother. - Fifth Prince.
Fourth Brother, Sis-in-law.
If he had not let off the smoke signal
I don't think I could have found you.
So you've been hiding in Zhou State all along.
Yuwen Yung, I know you're a good person.
Just let us go.
What I'm afraid of
is you leaving.
I've never met a girl
who didn't treat me like a king
and kept such a close distance with me.
You made me tell you my true feelings without any hesitation.
When you risked your life to save Zhen Er
it as my first time to feel worried.
Not one girl
had ever let me worry like that.
I really want you to stay with me.
If you force me to stay
then you'll lose me forever.
If you respect me and let us go
then you'll have a friend for life
to witness Zhou state's prosperity
and the children's smiles with you.
Can you really not stay?
I'm going to become his wife.
How is it possible for me to stay?
I guess so.
If I have to steal you like a thief
then it'd be a huge joke.
Yang Xue Wu.
Make sure you remember
that you've promised me
to be my friend for life.
Move out of the way, all of you!
- Shen Ju! - Yes!
Let them go!
I'll also send back the Qi hostages that were previously captured.
Fourth Brother, Sis-in-law.
Prince of Lan Ling.
You've also helped me get rid of Yuwen Hu and his men.
I never owe anyone favors.
I'm willing to sign a treaty with you to end our battle.
For the next three years
Zhou state will focus on strengthening ourselves
suspend all troops
and promise not to attack Qi state.
That's great! No more wars!
Yuwen Yung, you'll definitely be a wise king.
But for as long as I live
if Yang Xue Wu ever leaves you because you've hurt her in any way
then I'll never let her go back to you ever again.
I'm sorry.
Even if the world ends
you'll never have such a chance again.
I thank you on behalf of the people of Qi state for signing this treaty.
You better go before I change my mind.
Let's go.
It wasn't easy to find someone who understands my feelings
but I can't make her stay.
